Send Timmy + first for Grimes
Send Timmy + 2nd(s) for air
Stretch waive Timmy
"The Timmy options are short. " ...You may be right, but what happens in the playoffs going forward will have a real bearing on his value. It may not end up as low as we fear. Cross your fingers.
As for the SW option, while it's always available, it doesn't get to full MLE money for DJJ (instead, somewhere around 8.7 - 9.0M, maybe?). That might be enough or it might mandate another move, raising the "price" even further.
There's a certain point at which DJJ may have to be willing to meet in the middle, so that signing him doesn't require gutting the team of needed depth.
